Friday 14th December – a very special day, a very special play. We performed our first ever nativity “Hey Ewe” in Taney Church. We all worked together and told this joyful story through words and songs. Every single child was a star and we all had a wonderful time!

The school is looking very colourful and everyone is excited about the School Fair this Saturday 20th October from 10am till 1pm! Come and see the scary monsters that Ms. Leahy’s class made…..they are on display on the corridor near the hall. We used bendy pipeclears, googly eyes and all sorts of accessories so that each monster looked completely different!

This week Junior Infants have enjoyed the sunshine, playing games outside. They are predicting and observing Science in Action…will it float or sink? And…..big news…..the chicks have hatched and they came to visit us – they are so gorgeous!

The children took part in the Walk for Water on World Water Day this Thursday and they wore blue to school to symbolise water.

What would it be like to balance a container on your head and walk 6km a day to get water?

In Junior Infants the children balanced books on their heads while walking. In First Class the children tried balancing beanbags while walking in our yard. You have to be very careful and it takes a long time!! We needed to concentrate. We held out our hands to help our balance.
